Chapter 6. Sound Settings | 43 |
6.2 Bass
This setting emphasises or suppresses the lower (bass) frequencies in the sound. A value of 0 dB means that bass sounds are unaltered (at response).
6.3 Treble
This setting emphasises or suppresses the higher (treble) frequencies in the sound. A value of 0 dB means that treble sounds are unaltered (at response).
6.4 Balance
This setting controls the balance between the left and right channels. The default, 0, means that the left and right outputs are equal in volume. Negative numbers increase the volume of the left channel relative to the right, positive numbers increase the volume of the right channel relative to the left.
6.5 Channels
A stereo audio signal consists of two channels, left and right. The Channels setting determines if these channels are to be combined in any way, and if so, in what manner they will be combined. Available options are:
Setting | Description |
Stereo | Leave the audio signal unmodi ed. |
Mono | Combine both channels and send the resulting signal to both stereo |
| channels, resulting in a monophonic output. |
Custom | Allows you to manually specify a stereo width with the Stereo Width |
| setting described later in this chapter. |
Mono Left | Plays the left channel in both stereo channels. |
Mono Right | Plays the right channel in both stereo channels. |
Karaoke | Removes all sound that is common to both channels. Since most music |
| is recorded with vocals being equally present in both channels to make |
| the singer sound centrally placed, this often (but not always) has the |
| e ect of removing the voice track from a song. This setting also very |
| often has other undesirable e ects on the sound. |
